| Boilerpipe Text | For the next segment of myÂ
Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip
, it was time to flyÂ
Singapore Airlinesâ Airbus A350-900 business class
 on the 50-minute flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Singapore (SIN). At 184 miles, this is Singapore Airlinesâ shortest route, and itâs always impressive to see what a high service standard the airline offers even on short hops like this.
As youâd expect, this was an excellent flight, with flat beds, great entertainment and Wi-Fi, friendly service, and pretty good food. Thereâs not an airline thatâs more consistent when it comes to service than Singapore Airlines, and thatâs something I really respect.

Bottom line
How I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticket
I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticket using Air Canada Aeroplan points. Specifically, I booked the following for 25,000 Aeroplan points plus $109.65 in taxes & fees (that includes an extra 5,000 points for having a stopover of more than 24 hours in Singapore):
11/03 SQ105 Kuala Lumpur to Singapore departing 10:30AM arriving 11:45AM
11/04 SQ156 Singapore to Phnom Penh departing 12:45PM arriving 1:45PM
I was excited about this itinerary, since the first flight was on Singapore Airlinesâ regional A350, while
the second flight was on Singapore Airlinesâ 737 MAX
, both of which were new (to me) experiences on the airline.
Singapore Airlines business class lounge & boarding
After an incredible stay at
the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur
, I arrived at Kuala Lumpur Airport Terminal 1 at around 9AM. Singapore Airlines sends its premium passengers to the Global Lounge at the airport, which is just a pretty generic contract lounge.
My flight was departing from gate C12, with there being security screening at the gate. The gate opened around 9:30AM, and boarding was scheduled for 10AM, 30 minutes before departure.

At the gate I had a great view of 9V-SHF, the roughly six-year-old A350 that would be my ride for the short hop to Singapore.

Boarding started exactly at 10AM as planned, with those in wheelchairs, plus business class passengers, being invited to board first.
Kuala Lumpur Airport departure gate
I boarded through the forward left door, where I was greeted by one of the friendly flight attendants, and pointed toward my seat, down the near aisle.
Singapore Airlines has three versions of the A350-900 â thereâs the ultra long range version (used for flights to New York, Newark, etc.), the long haul version (used for most long haul routes), and then the regional version (used for short and medium haul flights).
This was my first time flying on the regional A350, so I was looking forward to checking that out. I had flown
Singapore Airlinesâ regional 787 business class
before, and that has basically the same product.
Itâs pretty incredible that even the carrierâs regional business class has flat beds with direct aisle access. Specifically, the regional A350-900 business class cabin consists of 40 seats, spread across 10 rows, in a 1-2-1 configuration. There are seven rows (with 28 seats) in the forward cabin, and then three rows (with 12 seats) in the rear cabin.
Singapore Airlines business class cabin A350
These planes have the Stelia Aerospace Symphony business class seat, which is an upgraded version of the Stelia Aerospace Opal business class seat, which youâll otherwise find on airlines like Air Senegal, Aircalin, Turkish Airlines, Vistara, and Uganda Airlines. This is a staggered product, meaning the location of the seats differ in each row.
For example, in the center section, youâll find that in every row there are âhoneymoonâ seats, whereby youâre seated really close to the person next to you, ideal for couples or families. The good news is that if youâre seated next to a stranger, thereâs a privacy shield that can be raised. Meanwhile in the other rows, the seats in the center section are closer to the aisles.
Singapore Airlines business class seats A350
The seats by the windows alternate between being closer to the aisles and closer to the windows. The seats closer to the aisles donât give you much separation from the aisle (as youâd expect), though at least this product offers quite a bit of privacy, thanks to the big shield along the seat of the seat. So you wonât feel overly exposed, and shouldnât be bumped into by people in the aisle.

Then the best seats on the plane are the âtrueâ window seats, which get you closer to the windows and farther from the aisles. I assigned myself seat 17A, which was the window seat on the left side in the second to last row of the forward business class cabin.
This seat not only features a good amount of privacy, but really feels like a cocoon, thanks to the shield along the side of the seat. Some might find the seat to be a bit tight or claustrophobic â personally I kind of like that cozy feeling. I do find it a bit strange how even the seats right by the windows have the privacy shield along the fuselage, which may block your view out the window, if anything.
I can appreciate that itâs most efficient to just manufacture all seats in the same way, though arguably itâs not only unnecessary, but counterproductive.

When it comes to the details of the seat, along the aisle-side is a large counter thatâs big enough for placing a laptop during the flight. Thereâs also a large storage compartment, which can be fully closed. The compartment has enough space for lots of smaller items (headphones, phones, glasses, a wallet, etc.). It also has two USB-A outlets and an AC power outlet. Then thereâs a small mirror that can be extended from the side of the seat.

Underneath the console are the seat and entertainment controls. The seat controls can be tough to figure out at first, since the screen goes totally âblackâ if itâs not touched. However, as soon as you touch it, the buttons light up, allowing you to adjust your seat, turn on lights, etc.
Singapore Airlines business class entertainment controller A350
Then thereâs the entertainment controller, which can be extended and used to control the functions on the personal television. However, the TV is also touchscreen, so I didnât end up having much use for this.

The tray table in this configuration folds out from underneath the personal television. When stored, itâs folded over in half, so you can extend it by pushing a button, pulling it out, and then flipping it over.

As is standard in staggered configurations, the footwell is to the side of the seat in front. I actually found this to be one of the bigger footwells, so would have no issues getting comfortable on a longer flight.

Speaking of the footwell and getting comfortable, while this flight was too short to get any real rest, I did still try the bed, and found it to be comfortable.

The last thing worth mentioning is that Singapore Airlinesâ A350 overhead consoles donât have
individual air nozzles
, though they do have reading lights.

All-in-all, Iâd say this is a very impressive regional business class product. Obviously getting a flat bed on a sub-one hour flight is over the top, but even on a longer flight, this would be a very pleasant product.
Singapore Airlines A350 business class entertainment & Wi-Fi
Singapore Airlinesâ
entertainment offering is among the best out there
. For one, the carrier is known for its excellent KrisWorld entertainment system, which offers a truly endless selection of movies, TV shows, music, games, and more. This is all available on an 18âł seat back monitor â while itâs high definition, thereâs definitely a bit of glare.

On top of that, thereâs the map feature, which I love to keep an eye on, and typically my preferred inflight entertainment. Singapore Airlines also offers free Wi-Fi for all premium passengers and KrisFlyer members, with the GX Ka-band SITAOnAir system being offered on the regional A350-900s.
Singapore Airlines business class Wi-Fi A350
Logging in as a business class passenger is easy, as you can just enter your last name and seat number, and then youâll be connected. You can switch between devices at will.
Singapore Airlines business class Wi-Fi A350
I found bandwidth to be good, though admittedly I only had a limited amount of time to play around with this on such a short flight.
Singapore Airlines business class amenities
Obviously amenities on this flight were fairly limited, compared to what youâd find on a long haul flight. Nonetheless, there were substantial pillows and blankets at each seat.

During boarding, pre-departure drinks were also served, with the choice of orange juice or apple juice.

Later during the boarding process, warm towels were distributed.

Singapore Airlines A350 departure from Kuala Lumpur
This flight was absolutely packed, with every seat on the plane occupied. So while boarding was busy, it was still a smooth process, thanks to the use of two jet bridges. I
love Singapore Airlinesâ boarding music
, which sets the relaxing tone found onboard the carrier.
At 10:25AM both of the cabin doors closed, and the captain made his welcome aboard announcement, informing us of our (rather long) flight time of 50 minutes, and our imminent departure. Moments later, the safety video was screened.
At around 10:30AM we began our pushback.

Then five minutes later, around 10:35AM, we began our taxi, as we passed a Singapore Airlines A350, Emirates 777, etc.

We had a long distance but fast taxi out to our departure runway, which was 32L⌠I couldnât help but notice all the grounded AirAsia A320-family aircraft.

By 10:45AM we made it out to runway 32L, and were cleared for takeoff.

We had a smooth climb out, and I enjoyed the views.

Singapore Airlines business class meal service
Within 10 minutes of takeoff, the crew was in the cabin to perform the inflight service. On this flight, there were two options to choose from, and they were described as cold refreshments.
Singapore Airlines business class menu
I ordered the gado gado, a cold salad of boiled egg, potato, cabbage, green beans, and fried tempeh fermented soya bean cake, served with peanut sauce. The meal was nicely presented and fresh, and was served with water, coffee, and/or juice. I had a glass of water and a cup of coffee.

Singapore Airlines A350 business class lavatory
While the flight wasnât very long, I also checked out the lavatories onboard. For business class passengers, thereâs one lavatory at the front left of the cabin, and two lavatories in the center galley, between the two business class cabins.

As usual, the lavatory was spotless, and there were some products from PAYOT.

Singapore Airlines business class service
My single favorite thing about flying with Singapore Airlines is the service. Thereâs simply not another airline in the world that
offers such a consistently high standard of service
. Every single time I fly with Singapore Airlines, the onboard service just feels like a carefully choreographed performance, and I canât help but appreciate the hard work that goes into that, because I know itâs not as easy as they make it look.
Even on such a short flight where thereâs a huge rush to get things done, the crew are so gentle, graceful, and calm. They take their time with each passenger, greet them with a smile, and address them by name.
Admittedly you might find more extensive service on a Gulf carrier on a flight of this length, but the thing about Singapore Airlines is that theyâre really strict about cabin preparations for landing, and flight attendants have to start preparing the cabin for landing 30 minutes out. Itâs a bit different than flying Qatar Airways within the Gulf region, where theyâre still serving you as the landing gear comes out.
Singapore Airlines A350 arrival in Singapore
Whatâs funny is that just 10 minutes after takeoff the captain was on the PA with his pre-landing announcement. He was explaining that we were just 170 miles from Singapore, and would be descending in around 10 minutes, and landing in around 35 minutes, so the crew was told to prepare for arrival.
Singapore Airlines A350 approaching Singapore Airport
At that point I hadnât even been served yet, but despite that, I never felt rushed. We did indeed start our descent at around 11:05AM, and then at 11:10AM the seatbelt sign was turned on. Our flight from Malaysia to Singapore took us down the coast along the Straight of Malacca, and then we flew out over the Singapore Strait and Batam, before turning back around and approaching Changi.

We ended up landing on runway 20C at 11:35AM, with a perfectly smooth touchdown.

We then had a roughly 10-minute taxi to our arrival gate in Terminal 2, where we pulled in next to a Thai Airways A350.

The seatbelt sign was turned off at 11:45AM, so we arrived exactly on schedule. After clearing immigration, I headed for
the Singapore EDITION, where Iâd be spending the night
, prior to
my connection the following day
.
Bottom line
I always have pleasant flights on Singapore Airlines. In this case, I had an excellent flight on the carrierâs shortest route, between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. You canât beat a âregionalâ business class product that has flat beds and direct aisle access. When you add in great seat back entertainment, free Wi-Fi, exceptionally friendly service, and tasty snack, this really is a great way to fly.

For the next segment of my [Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/iceland-the-residence-cambodia/), it was time to fly [Singapore Airlinesâ Airbus A350-900 business class](https://onemileatatime.com/insights/singapore-airlines-regional-a350-business-class/) on the 50-minute flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Singapore (SIN). At 184 miles, this is Singapore Airlinesâ shortest route, and itâs always impressive to see what a high service standard the airline offers even on short hops like this.
As youâd expect, this was an excellent flight, with flat beds, great entertainment and Wi-Fi, friendly service, and pretty good food. Thereâs not an airline thatâs more consistent when it comes to service than Singapore Airlines, and thatâs something I really respect.

## How I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticket
I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticket using Air Canada Aeroplan points. Specifically, I booked the following for 25,000 Aeroplan points plus \$109.65 in taxes & fees (that includes an extra 5,000 points for having a stopover of more than 24 hours in Singapore):
11/03 SQ105 Kuala Lumpur to Singapore departing 10:30AM arriving 11:45AM
11/04 SQ156 Singapore to Phnom Penh departing 12:45PM arriving 1:45PM
I was excited about this itinerary, since the first flight was on Singapore Airlinesâ regional A350, while [the second flight was on Singapore Airlinesâ 737 MAX](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-airlines-business-class-737-max/), both of which were new (to me) experiences on the airline.
## Singapore Airlines business class lounge & boarding
After an incredible stay at [the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/park-hyatt-kuala-lumpur/), I arrived at Kuala Lumpur Airport Terminal 1 at around 9AM. Singapore Airlines sends its premium passengers to the Global Lounge at the airport, which is just a pretty generic contract lounge.
My flight was departing from gate C12, with there being security screening at the gate. The gate opened around 9:30AM, and boarding was scheduled for 10AM, 30 minutes before departure.

Kuala Lumpur Airport departure gate
At the gate I had a great view of 9V-SHF, the roughly six-year-old A350 that would be my ride for the short hop to Singapore.

Singapore Airlines A350 Kuala Lumpur Airport
Boarding started exactly at 10AM as planned, with those in wheelchairs, plus business class passengers, being invited to board first.

## Singapore Airlines A350 business class cabin & seats
I boarded through the forward left door, where I was greeted by one of the friendly flight attendants, and pointed toward my seat, down the near aisle.
Singapore Airlines has three versions of the A350-900 â thereâs the ultra long range version (used for flights to New York, Newark, etc.), the long haul version (used for most long haul routes), and then the regional version (used for short and medium haul flights).
This was my first time flying on the regional A350, so I was looking forward to checking that out. I had flown [Singapore Airlinesâ regional 787 business class](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-airlines-business-class-787/) before, and that has basically the same product.
Itâs pretty incredible that even the carrierâs regional business class has flat beds with direct aisle access. Specifically, the regional A350-900 business class cabin consists of 40 seats, spread across 10 rows, in a 1-2-1 configuration. There are seven rows (with 28 seats) in the forward cabin, and then three rows (with 12 seats) in the rear cabin.

Singapore Airlines business class cabin A350
These planes have the Stelia Aerospace Symphony business class seat, which is an upgraded version of the Stelia Aerospace Opal business class seat, which youâll otherwise find on airlines like Air Senegal, Aircalin, Turkish Airlines, Vistara, and Uganda Airlines. This is a staggered product, meaning the location of the seats differ in each row.
For example, in the center section, youâll find that in every row there are âhoneymoonâ seats, whereby youâre seated really close to the person next to you, ideal for couples or families. The good news is that if youâre seated next to a stranger, thereâs a privacy shield that can be raised. Meanwhile in the other rows, the seats in the center section are closer to the aisles.

Singapore Airlines business class seats A350
The seats by the windows alternate between being closer to the aisles and closer to the windows. The seats closer to the aisles donât give you much separation from the aisle (as youâd expect), though at least this product offers quite a bit of privacy, thanks to the big shield along the seat of the seat. So you wonât feel overly exposed, and shouldnât be bumped into by people in the aisle.

Singapore Airlines business class seat A350

Singapore Airlines business class seat A350

Then the best seats on the plane are the âtrueâ window seats, which get you closer to the windows and farther from the aisles. I assigned myself seat 17A, which was the window seat on the left side in the second to last row of the forward business class cabin.
This seat not only features a good amount of privacy, but really feels like a cocoon, thanks to the shield along the side of the seat. Some might find the seat to be a bit tight or claustrophobic â personally I kind of like that cozy feeling. I do find it a bit strange how even the seats right by the windows have the privacy shield along the fuselage, which may block your view out the window, if anything.
I can appreciate that itâs most efficient to just manufacture all seats in the same way, though arguably itâs not only unnecessary, but counterproductive.

When it comes to the details of the seat, along the aisle-side is a large counter thatâs big enough for placing a laptop during the flight. Thereâs also a large storage compartment, which can be fully closed. The compartment has enough space for lots of smaller items (headphones, phones, glasses, a wallet, etc.). It also has two USB-A outlets and an AC power outlet. Then thereâs a small mirror that can be extended from the side of the seat.

Singapore Airlines business class seat charging A350
Underneath the console are the seat and entertainment controls. The seat controls can be tough to figure out at first, since the screen goes totally âblackâ if itâs not touched. However, as soon as you touch it, the buttons light up, allowing you to adjust your seat, turn on lights, etc.

Singapore Airlines business class entertainment controller A350
Then thereâs the entertainment controller, which can be extended and used to control the functions on the personal television. However, the TV is also touchscreen, so I didnât end up having much use for this.

Singapore Airlines business class entertainment controller A350
The tray table in this configuration folds out from underneath the personal television. When stored, itâs folded over in half, so you can extend it by pushing a button, pulling it out, and then flipping it over.

Singapore Airlines business class seat tray table A350
As is standard in staggered configurations, the footwell is to the side of the seat in front. I actually found this to be one of the bigger footwells, so would have no issues getting comfortable on a longer flight.

Singapore Airlines business class seat footwell A350
Speaking of the footwell and getting comfortable, while this flight was too short to get any real rest, I did still try the bed, and found it to be comfortable.

Singapore Airlines business class bed A350
The last thing worth mentioning is that Singapore Airlinesâ A350 overhead consoles donât have [individual air nozzles](https://onemileatatime.com/insights/individual-air-nozzles-airplanes/), though they do have reading lights.

Singapore Airlines A350 overhead console
All-in-all, Iâd say this is a very impressive regional business class product. Obviously getting a flat bed on a sub-one hour flight is over the top, but even on a longer flight, this would be a very pleasant product.
## Singapore Airlines A350 business class entertainment & Wi-Fi
Singapore Airlinesâ [entertainment offering is among the best out there](https://onemileatatime.com/guides/best-inflight-entertainment/). For one, the carrier is known for its excellent KrisWorld entertainment system, which offers a truly endless selection of movies, TV shows, music, games, and more. This is all available on an 18âł seat back monitor â while itâs high definition, thereâs definitely a bit of glare.

On top of that, thereâs the map feature, which I love to keep an eye on, and typically my preferred inflight entertainment. Singapore Airlines also offers free Wi-Fi for all premium passengers and KrisFlyer members, with the GX Ka-band SITAOnAir system being offered on the regional A350-900s.

Singapore Airlines business class Wi-Fi A350
Logging in as a business class passenger is easy, as you can just enter your last name and seat number, and then youâll be connected. You can switch between devices at will.

Singapore Airlines business class Wi-Fi A350
I found bandwidth to be good, though admittedly I only had a limited amount of time to play around with this on such a short flight.
## Singapore Airlines business class amenities
Obviously amenities on this flight were fairly limited, compared to what youâd find on a long haul flight. Nonetheless, there were substantial pillows and blankets at each seat.

Singapore Airlines business class pillow & blanket
During boarding, pre-departure drinks were also served, with the choice of orange juice or apple juice.

Singapore Airlines business class pre-departure drink
Later during the boarding process, warm towels were distributed.

Singapore Airlines business class pre-departure warm towel
## Singapore Airlines A350 departure from Kuala Lumpur
This flight was absolutely packed, with every seat on the plane occupied. So while boarding was busy, it was still a smooth process, thanks to the use of two jet bridges. I [love Singapore Airlinesâ boarding music](https://onemileatatime.com/guides/airline-boarding-music/), which sets the relaxing tone found onboard the carrier.
Play
At 10:25AM both of the cabin doors closed, and the captain made his welcome aboard announcement, informing us of our (rather long) flight time of 50 minutes, and our imminent departure. Moments later, the safety video was screened.
Play
At around 10:30AM we began our pushback.

Singapore Airlines A350 pushing back Kuala Lumpur Airport
Then five minutes later, around 10:35AM, we began our taxi, as we passed a Singapore Airlines A350, Emirates 777, etc.

Singapore Airlines A350 pushing back Kuala Lumpur Airport
We had a long distance but fast taxi out to our departure runway, which was 32L⌠I couldnât help but notice all the grounded AirAsia A320-family aircraft.

By 10:45AM we made it out to runway 32L, and were cleared for takeoff.

Singapore Airlines A350 taking off Kuala Lumpur Airport
We had a smooth climb out, and I enjoyed the views.

The seatbelt sign was turned off around five minutes after takeoff.

## Singapore Airlines business class meal service
Within 10 minutes of takeoff, the crew was in the cabin to perform the inflight service. On this flight, there were two options to choose from, and they were described as cold refreshments.

Singapore Airlines business class menu
I ordered the gado gado, a cold salad of boiled egg, potato, cabbage, green beans, and fried tempeh fermented soya bean cake, served with peanut sauce. The meal was nicely presented and fresh, and was served with water, coffee, and/or juice. I had a glass of water and a cup of coffee.

Singapore Airlines business class meal
## Singapore Airlines A350 business class lavatory
While the flight wasnât very long, I also checked out the lavatories onboard. For business class passengers, thereâs one lavatory at the front left of the cabin, and two lavatories in the center galley, between the two business class cabins.

Singapore Airlines business class lavatory A350

Singapore Airlines business class lavatory A350
As usual, the lavatory was spotless, and there were some products from PAYOT.

Singapore Airlines business class lavatory amenities A350
## Singapore Airlines business class service
My single favorite thing about flying with Singapore Airlines is the service. Thereâs simply not another airline in the world that [offers such a consistently high standard of service](https://onemileatatime.com/guides/best-inflight-entertainment/). Every single time I fly with Singapore Airlines, the onboard service just feels like a carefully choreographed performance, and I canât help but appreciate the hard work that goes into that, because I know itâs not as easy as they make it look.
Even on such a short flight where thereâs a huge rush to get things done, the crew are so gentle, graceful, and calm. They take their time with each passenger, greet them with a smile, and address them by name.
Admittedly you might find more extensive service on a Gulf carrier on a flight of this length, but the thing about Singapore Airlines is that theyâre really strict about cabin preparations for landing, and flight attendants have to start preparing the cabin for landing 30 minutes out. Itâs a bit different than flying Qatar Airways within the Gulf region, where theyâre still serving you as the landing gear comes out.
## Singapore Airlines A350 arrival in Singapore
Whatâs funny is that just 10 minutes after takeoff the captain was on the PA with his pre-landing announcement. He was explaining that we were just 170 miles from Singapore, and would be descending in around 10 minutes, and landing in around 35 minutes, so the crew was told to prepare for arrival.

Singapore Airlines A350 approaching Singapore Airport
At that point I hadnât even been served yet, but despite that, I never felt rushed. We did indeed start our descent at around 11:05AM, and then at 11:10AM the seatbelt sign was turned on. Our flight from Malaysia to Singapore took us down the coast along the Straight of Malacca, and then we flew out over the Singapore Strait and Batam, before turning back around and approaching Changi.

We ended up landing on runway 20C at 11:35AM, with a perfectly smooth touchdown.

We then had a roughly 10-minute taxi to our arrival gate in Terminal 2, where we pulled in next to a Thai Airways A350.

Singapore Airlines A350 taxiing Singapore Airport

The seatbelt sign was turned off at 11:45AM, so we arrived exactly on schedule. After clearing immigration, I headed for [the Singapore EDITION, where Iâd be spending the night](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-edition/), prior to [my connection the following day](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-airlines-business-class-737-max/).
## Bottom line
I always have pleasant flights on Singapore Airlines. In this case, I had an excellent flight on the carrierâs shortest route, between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. You canât beat a âregionalâ business class product that has flat beds and direct aisle access. When you add in great seat back entertainment, free Wi-Fi, exceptionally friendly service, and tasty snack, this really is a great way to fly.
**Whatâs your take on Singapore Airlinesâ A350 business class?**

Have a nice trip everyone because with the orange man in charge who knows how high ticket prices will go. Airplanes need fuel. The âwarâ in Iraq is going to make oil prices go up and up.

It is indeed impressive that SQ offers these seats on such a short flight - though that makes their regional a350 and 787-10 fleet interchangeable of course.
The seats are great for the fact that you can have them on really short flights.
Fly these occasionaly between SIN and BKK/SGN.
The downside, which you mentioned, is the shield on the side which I find claustrophobic.
Besides that, the service is always...

So then, what an Asian carrier does, on a regional route wholly within Southeast Asia; is a reason that Americans are fat . . . .
That one definitely qualifies for Most R3t@rded Post award - which for this site, is saying a lot\!

Your flight expertise was so much better than ours when we flew the same route 20 years ago on a SQ 777-200 in "Jubilee" configuration. Even though we had business class tickets for our trip, we ended up in coach for this segment. (Apparently there were no or very few J seats on the aircraft.) Coach was a vast expanse of fully occupied seats.
It's interesting that your flight was blocked for 75 minutes...

It's interesting that your flight was blocked for 75 minutes vs. the 55 minutes for ours (more than a third longer). Is that due to schedule padding, crowded airspace, crowded taxiways, or plate tectonics?

What a complete waste of CO2 . Using a wide body for such a short flight. Ridiculous\!

Yours is a particularly uneducated response, seeing as:
1\) CO2 isn't the gas to be worried about here (that'd be CO), and
2\) a widebody will actually burn less of it on a per-seat basis

This is a nitpick, but it would've killed me to pay 5k extra points for a "stopover" only for the stopover to be 25 hours.... I know youre targeting specific products and i have no idea what availability wouldve been like but spending the (admittedly easy to replace) 5k Aeroplan pts for only ~1 hour of extra time would've driven me nuts. to each, his own\!

@ Ecr12 -- Hah, totally agree, was less than ideal. Given limited service between SIN and KTI, the only other option was to take an earlier flight. The catch is that this would've also been operated by the 737 MAX (which I would be reviewing on the next installment), and I also wouldn't have been able to have breakfast at the Park Hyatt. So given those circumstances, I decided that redeeming the extra points for the stopover was worth it.

KUL to SIN desperately needs high speed rail, and MH/SQ could still sell interline tickets too the way European cities do as well.
This is one of the busiest routes in the world, but really doesn't need to be given the short distance and frequency.
KUL airport is so far from the city center, your commute to or from KUL is longer than this flight itself.

LOL, Westerners with their occidental thinking.
Regardless, you think they never thought of that? One of the biggest reasons this (and many other ASEAN) routes remain as air-links, is because there's a virtually unmitigated demand for air freight that neither rail nor sea cargo would be able to replicate at cost.
THAT is the driving force behind not only much of the traffic (which would NOT be profitable at the rates often charged), but also...

THAT is the driving force behind not only much of the traffic (which would NOT be profitable at the rates often charged), but also the sheer number of widebodies used on such routes, in addition to narrowbody frequency.

@ImmortalSynn no need to be so condescending. Malaysia and SG did indeed ink an HSR agreement and started construction several years back, until the Najib government fell and Mahathir gained power again. Construction might restart soon with the newer government these days.

@John Dod,
The reason I'm condescending is because so many of you people make declarative statements as if they were fact (like the doof above, who just doubled down on the ASSUMPTION that the kind of freight being referenced would move more cheaply by rail, when logistical cost inequity to airfreight is one of the main reasons the project shut down), when they're so often the exact opposite of reality.
And no, there's no...

And no, there's no indication that "construction might restart soon with the newer government" in the foreseeable future, as MYHSR released its development holdings to the private sector, with RFPs to Berjaya, CRCC, and YTL; with none of them showing the least bit of interest in reviving the cancelled project in the 3yrs MYHSR has been (half-heartedly) trying.
You're probably confusing it with the new link between Bukit Chagar to Woodlands North link that's supposed to open in a while, but that can hardly be described as an HSR project.

Doesn't get much shorter than KUL-SIN. For them to fly wide-body, and to have meal-service (with cutlery, glasses, etc.) for premium cabin is impressive. That'd be like doing so on FLL-TPA.

So then, what an Asian carrier does, on a regional route wholly within Southeast Asia; is a reason that Americans are fat . . . . That one definitely qualifies for Most R3t@rded Post award - which for this site, is saying a lot\!

| Readable Markdown | For the next segment of my [Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/iceland-the-residence-cambodia/), it was time to fly [Singapore Airlinesâ Airbus A350-900 business class](https://onemileatatime.com/insights/singapore-airlines-regional-a350-business-class/) on the 50-minute flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Singapore (SIN). At 184 miles, this is Singapore Airlinesâ shortest route, and itâs always impressive to see what a high service standard the airline offers even on short hops like this.
As youâd expect, this was an excellent flight, with flat beds, great entertainment and Wi-Fi, friendly service, and pretty good food. Thereâs not an airline thatâs more consistent when it comes to service than Singapore Airlines, and thatâs something I really respect.

## How I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticket
I booked my Singapore Airlines business class ticket using Air Canada Aeroplan points. Specifically, I booked the following for 25,000 Aeroplan points plus \$109.65 in taxes & fees (that includes an extra 5,000 points for having a stopover of more than 24 hours in Singapore):
11/03 SQ105 Kuala Lumpur to Singapore departing 10:30AM arriving 11:45AM
11/04 SQ156 Singapore to Phnom Penh departing 12:45PM arriving 1:45PM
I was excited about this itinerary, since the first flight was on Singapore Airlinesâ regional A350, while [the second flight was on Singapore Airlinesâ 737 MAX](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-airlines-business-class-737-max/), both of which were new (to me) experiences on the airline.
## Singapore Airlines business class lounge & boarding
After an incredible stay at [the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/park-hyatt-kuala-lumpur/), I arrived at Kuala Lumpur Airport Terminal 1 at around 9AM. Singapore Airlines sends its premium passengers to the Global Lounge at the airport, which is just a pretty generic contract lounge.
My flight was departing from gate C12, with there being security screening at the gate. The gate opened around 9:30AM, and boarding was scheduled for 10AM, 30 minutes before departure.

At the gate I had a great view of 9V-SHF, the roughly six-year-old A350 that would be my ride for the short hop to Singapore.

Boarding started exactly at 10AM as planned, with those in wheelchairs, plus business class passengers, being invited to board first.

I boarded through the forward left door, where I was greeted by one of the friendly flight attendants, and pointed toward my seat, down the near aisle.
Singapore Airlines has three versions of the A350-900 â thereâs the ultra long range version (used for flights to New York, Newark, etc.), the long haul version (used for most long haul routes), and then the regional version (used for short and medium haul flights).
This was my first time flying on the regional A350, so I was looking forward to checking that out. I had flown [Singapore Airlinesâ regional 787 business class](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-airlines-business-class-787/) before, and that has basically the same product.
Itâs pretty incredible that even the carrierâs regional business class has flat beds with direct aisle access. Specifically, the regional A350-900 business class cabin consists of 40 seats, spread across 10 rows, in a 1-2-1 configuration. There are seven rows (with 28 seats) in the forward cabin, and then three rows (with 12 seats) in the rear cabin.

Singapore Airlines business class cabin A350
These planes have the Stelia Aerospace Symphony business class seat, which is an upgraded version of the Stelia Aerospace Opal business class seat, which youâll otherwise find on airlines like Air Senegal, Aircalin, Turkish Airlines, Vistara, and Uganda Airlines. This is a staggered product, meaning the location of the seats differ in each row.
For example, in the center section, youâll find that in every row there are âhoneymoonâ seats, whereby youâre seated really close to the person next to you, ideal for couples or families. The good news is that if youâre seated next to a stranger, thereâs a privacy shield that can be raised. Meanwhile in the other rows, the seats in the center section are closer to the aisles.

Singapore Airlines business class seats A350
The seats by the windows alternate between being closer to the aisles and closer to the windows. The seats closer to the aisles donât give you much separation from the aisle (as youâd expect), though at least this product offers quite a bit of privacy, thanks to the big shield along the seat of the seat. So you wonât feel overly exposed, and shouldnât be bumped into by people in the aisle.

Then the best seats on the plane are the âtrueâ window seats, which get you closer to the windows and farther from the aisles. I assigned myself seat 17A, which was the window seat on the left side in the second to last row of the forward business class cabin.
This seat not only features a good amount of privacy, but really feels like a cocoon, thanks to the shield along the side of the seat. Some might find the seat to be a bit tight or claustrophobic â personally I kind of like that cozy feeling. I do find it a bit strange how even the seats right by the windows have the privacy shield along the fuselage, which may block your view out the window, if anything.
I can appreciate that itâs most efficient to just manufacture all seats in the same way, though arguably itâs not only unnecessary, but counterproductive.

When it comes to the details of the seat, along the aisle-side is a large counter thatâs big enough for placing a laptop during the flight. Thereâs also a large storage compartment, which can be fully closed. The compartment has enough space for lots of smaller items (headphones, phones, glasses, a wallet, etc.). It also has two USB-A outlets and an AC power outlet. Then thereâs a small mirror that can be extended from the side of the seat.

Underneath the console are the seat and entertainment controls. The seat controls can be tough to figure out at first, since the screen goes totally âblackâ if itâs not touched. However, as soon as you touch it, the buttons light up, allowing you to adjust your seat, turn on lights, etc.

Singapore Airlines business class entertainment controller A350
Then thereâs the entertainment controller, which can be extended and used to control the functions on the personal television. However, the TV is also touchscreen, so I didnât end up having much use for this.

The tray table in this configuration folds out from underneath the personal television. When stored, itâs folded over in half, so you can extend it by pushing a button, pulling it out, and then flipping it over.

As is standard in staggered configurations, the footwell is to the side of the seat in front. I actually found this to be one of the bigger footwells, so would have no issues getting comfortable on a longer flight.

Speaking of the footwell and getting comfortable, while this flight was too short to get any real rest, I did still try the bed, and found it to be comfortable.

The last thing worth mentioning is that Singapore Airlinesâ A350 overhead consoles donât have [individual air nozzles](https://onemileatatime.com/insights/individual-air-nozzles-airplanes/), though they do have reading lights.

All-in-all, Iâd say this is a very impressive regional business class product. Obviously getting a flat bed on a sub-one hour flight is over the top, but even on a longer flight, this would be a very pleasant product.
## Singapore Airlines A350 business class entertainment & Wi-Fi
Singapore Airlinesâ [entertainment offering is among the best out there](https://onemileatatime.com/guides/best-inflight-entertainment/). For one, the carrier is known for its excellent KrisWorld entertainment system, which offers a truly endless selection of movies, TV shows, music, games, and more. This is all available on an 18âł seat back monitor â while itâs high definition, thereâs definitely a bit of glare.

On top of that, thereâs the map feature, which I love to keep an eye on, and typically my preferred inflight entertainment. Singapore Airlines also offers free Wi-Fi for all premium passengers and KrisFlyer members, with the GX Ka-band SITAOnAir system being offered on the regional A350-900s.

Singapore Airlines business class Wi-Fi A350
Logging in as a business class passenger is easy, as you can just enter your last name and seat number, and then youâll be connected. You can switch between devices at will.

Singapore Airlines business class Wi-Fi A350
I found bandwidth to be good, though admittedly I only had a limited amount of time to play around with this on such a short flight.
## Singapore Airlines business class amenities
Obviously amenities on this flight were fairly limited, compared to what youâd find on a long haul flight. Nonetheless, there were substantial pillows and blankets at each seat.

During boarding, pre-departure drinks were also served, with the choice of orange juice or apple juice.

Later during the boarding process, warm towels were distributed.

## Singapore Airlines A350 departure from Kuala Lumpur
This flight was absolutely packed, with every seat on the plane occupied. So while boarding was busy, it was still a smooth process, thanks to the use of two jet bridges. I [love Singapore Airlinesâ boarding music](https://onemileatatime.com/guides/airline-boarding-music/), which sets the relaxing tone found onboard the carrier.
At 10:25AM both of the cabin doors closed, and the captain made his welcome aboard announcement, informing us of our (rather long) flight time of 50 minutes, and our imminent departure. Moments later, the safety video was screened.
At around 10:30AM we began our pushback.

Then five minutes later, around 10:35AM, we began our taxi, as we passed a Singapore Airlines A350, Emirates 777, etc.

Singapore Airlines A350 pushing back Kuala Lumpur Airport
We had a long distance but fast taxi out to our departure runway, which was 32L⌠I couldnât help but notice all the grounded AirAsia A320-family aircraft.

By 10:45AM we made it out to runway 32L, and were cleared for takeoff.

We had a smooth climb out, and I enjoyed the views.

The seatbelt sign was turned off around five minutes after takeoff.

## Singapore Airlines business class meal service
Within 10 minutes of takeoff, the crew was in the cabin to perform the inflight service. On this flight, there were two options to choose from, and they were described as cold refreshments.

Singapore Airlines business class menu
I ordered the gado gado, a cold salad of boiled egg, potato, cabbage, green beans, and fried tempeh fermented soya bean cake, served with peanut sauce. The meal was nicely presented and fresh, and was served with water, coffee, and/or juice. I had a glass of water and a cup of coffee.

## Singapore Airlines A350 business class lavatory
While the flight wasnât very long, I also checked out the lavatories onboard. For business class passengers, thereâs one lavatory at the front left of the cabin, and two lavatories in the center galley, between the two business class cabins.

As usual, the lavatory was spotless, and there were some products from PAYOT.

## Singapore Airlines business class service
My single favorite thing about flying with Singapore Airlines is the service. Thereâs simply not another airline in the world that [offers such a consistently high standard of service](https://onemileatatime.com/guides/best-inflight-entertainment/). Every single time I fly with Singapore Airlines, the onboard service just feels like a carefully choreographed performance, and I canât help but appreciate the hard work that goes into that, because I know itâs not as easy as they make it look.
Even on such a short flight where thereâs a huge rush to get things done, the crew are so gentle, graceful, and calm. They take their time with each passenger, greet them with a smile, and address them by name.
Admittedly you might find more extensive service on a Gulf carrier on a flight of this length, but the thing about Singapore Airlines is that theyâre really strict about cabin preparations for landing, and flight attendants have to start preparing the cabin for landing 30 minutes out. Itâs a bit different than flying Qatar Airways within the Gulf region, where theyâre still serving you as the landing gear comes out.
## Singapore Airlines A350 arrival in Singapore
Whatâs funny is that just 10 minutes after takeoff the captain was on the PA with his pre-landing announcement. He was explaining that we were just 170 miles from Singapore, and would be descending in around 10 minutes, and landing in around 35 minutes, so the crew was told to prepare for arrival.

Singapore Airlines A350 approaching Singapore Airport
At that point I hadnât even been served yet, but despite that, I never felt rushed. We did indeed start our descent at around 11:05AM, and then at 11:10AM the seatbelt sign was turned on. Our flight from Malaysia to Singapore took us down the coast along the Straight of Malacca, and then we flew out over the Singapore Strait and Batam, before turning back around and approaching Changi.

We ended up landing on runway 20C at 11:35AM, with a perfectly smooth touchdown.

We then had a roughly 10-minute taxi to our arrival gate in Terminal 2, where we pulled in next to a Thai Airways A350.

The seatbelt sign was turned off at 11:45AM, so we arrived exactly on schedule. After clearing immigration, I headed for [the Singapore EDITION, where Iâd be spending the night](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-edition/), prior to [my connection the following day](https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/singapore-airlines-business-class-737-max/).
## Bottom line
I always have pleasant flights on Singapore Airlines. In this case, I had an excellent flight on the carrierâs shortest route, between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. You canât beat a âregionalâ business class product that has flat beds and direct aisle access. When you add in great seat back entertainment, free Wi-Fi, exceptionally friendly service, and tasty snack, this really is a great way to fly.
